| 2006 | STEERING | WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 20MPH, CHIME SOUNDS, DASH DISPLAYS POWER STEERING MESSAGE AND POWER STEERING IS GONE. HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND WHEN GOING AROUND CORNER NEARLY CRASH TWICE NOW DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW 1/2/06 AND IT ONLY HAS A TAD OVER 40,000 MILES SO WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. VEHICLE HAS SAME POWER STEERING PUMP AS COBALT FOR WHICH A RECALL WAS DONE. SAME EXACT PART MEANS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT JUST BE LIMITED TO THE COBALT AND G5. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COBALT & G5 WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE HHR. I BELONG TO A VERY LARGE HHR COMMUNITY AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND HAD THIS HAPPENED WHEN ROADS WERE ICY IT COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS AS THE OTHER VEHICLES THE SAME YEAR AS MINE WITH THE SAME PART HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IT'S AN OBVIOUS DEFECT AND OUT OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE OTHERS AROUND THEM WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THE COST TO REPAIR SHOULD REST ON CHEVROLET AND NOT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE ELDERLY WOMAN STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A REPAIR, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO BECAUSE OF A KNOWN FAULTY PART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR |
| 2010 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ARRIVED HOME FROM GROCERY SHOPPING AND I PARKED MY VEHICLE. I TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. I PULLED THE POWER CABLE OFF THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I LIVE IN A TOWNHOUSE SUB-DIVISION AND DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SO I REMOVED THE IGNITION CYLINDER. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOWED IT TO THEIR SHOP. THE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME IT WAS UNDER OEM WARRANTY AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE IGNITION SWITCH UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE HOUSING WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME. THEY REPLACED THE PARTS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) WOULD NOT HOLD ITS PROGRAMMING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST. TOTAL REPAIR $1275.00. *TR |
